RE: Nexus in DC?

LOL! That's why I asked for clarification. J

The products he mentioned in his post aren't oversubbed. I don't have ESP
unfortunately. J

So yes cool stuff! Still needs some time to get mature in terms of hardware
and software.
Juniper actually has a better DC switch with their EX8200 (totally
non-blocking), much cheaper for the same amount of bandwidth (not port
density, but the Juniper is NOT oversubscribed).

We're doing Nexus as well.  In fact, we're likely ordering everything 
tomorrow.  Keep in mind, there's a limit to 12 FEX's to a 5000 cluster, or 
at least that's what they tell me.  They screwed up our first quote because 
our SE didn't look into this...

We are also rolling out the NX 7010 and 5020 in the next couple of months 
as 
part of our datacenter network upgrade. I am planning to use vPCs from the 
5020 to 7010 but as we are using 2 VDCs there will be vPC for each VDC 
translating to 4 10g coming out of each 5020. I am sure we will have to get 
a extra 32 port 10g card with 8 ports dedicated for line speed for these 
cross connects. Not to mention you need 1 keep-alive and 1 cross-connect 
for 
each VDC. 
It seems that the 7010 can do lot of service aggregation using the ACE, 
WAAS 
modules but we just want to consolidate our aggregation switches in to 
single set of chasiss. 
On top of that in a few months time, we have provide active-active 
datacenter functionality with a set of NX 7010 at each datacenter so that 
traffic can be load balanced. 
And the training was a 4-day Firefly course...which was fairly basic in 
terms of depth and breadth of material covered 
Fun times.......

Hey guys, 
Any of you already having practical experience with big Nexus roll-outs 
in 
Data Centers? Running into any "problems"? 
For a customer we are planning to deploy 5020 end-of-row switches with 
2148T 
top-of-rack switches, aggregated in 7018s fully loaded with 32-port 
10-Gbps 
blades. Just to give you an idea, the complete data center would be 
around 
256 rows (30,000 ports)... 
Cheers, 
Marc
